Wing Alofiana Khan-Pereira scored a try double to propel NZ Warriors to a 32-6 win over Wests Tigers at Sydney’s Campbelltown Stadium.<\/p>\n

Returning from a quad injury that had kept him sidelined for two games, the speedster had the visitors out to an early double-figure lead, as they took toll of a man advantage, when former Warriors fan favourite Bunty Afoa \u2014 now with the Tigers \u2014 was sin-binned for a late tackle on Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.<\/p>\n

Soon after Khan-Pereira’s first try, centre Ali Leiataua also crossed and the Warriors led 14-6 at halftime.<\/p>\n

Back to full complement, Wests finished the first half strongly and threatened to close the margin further, when the Warriors spilt the ball from the second-half kickoff.<\/p>\n

They survived and Khan-Pereira stretched the advantage with the next try. From the restart, hooker Wayde Egan scooted over for a try and the Warriors were never challenged again.<\/p>\n

While the Tigers enjoyed an edge in possession and set completion, the 11-2 linebreak count heavily favoured the Warriors. Those two Tigers breaks came in the dying moments, but could not alter the scoreline.<\/p>\n

After losing three of their last four outings, the Warriors now face a kind run of games that may allow them to consolidate their standing on the NRL table.<\/p>\n

Next Saturday, they face bottom-of-the-table St George Illawarra Dragons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wing Alofiana Khan-Pereira scored a try double to propel NZ Warriors to a 32-6 win over Wests Tigers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,111,139,69,213,3006],"class_list":["post-520151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-australia","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports","tag-warriors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
